Very nice workflow package, has everything I need for a mid-sized number of authors incl. time planning. The only thing that does not work is notifications. They simply don’t send on my system, which makes it awkward to getting review processes started. Since support simply doesn’t happen in the support forum (last one was 7mths ago) not any reaction on Twitter neither for Edit Flow itself nor from Automattic, I fear this plugin is basically not maintained anymore. Sorry!

I’ve used this plugin for a while and like it, but support has been lagging and there are issues (javascript errors, theme and plugin conflicts, and buggy behavior, for example) that have not been addressed. I’ll be deactivating until it improves in future updates.

Bug fix: Show the proper last modified value on the story budget when the server’s timezone is not set to GMT. Props danls

Bug fix: Make the jQuery UI theme for Edit Flow more specific so it doesn’t conflict with core modals

Bug fix: Use the proper singlular label for a post type when generating notification text

Bug fix: Post slug now updates when the post has a custom status.

Bug fix: When determining whether a user can change a post’s status, check the ‘edit_posts’ cap for the post type.

0.7.3 (Jul. 3, 2012)

Bug fix: Support PHP 5.2.x by removing the anonymous functions we mistakenly added

Bug fix: Only update user’s Story Budget saved filters when the Story Budget is being viewed, to avoid other views setting the filter values

0.7.2 (Jul. 3, 2012)

Users without the ‘publish_posts’ capability can now use and change custom statuses. Props Daniel Chesterton

Support for trashing posts from the calendar. Thanks Dan York for the idea and a bit of code

Updated codebase to use PHP5-style OOP references

Fixed some script and stylesheet references that had a double ‘//’ in the URI path

New edit_flow_supported_module_post_types_args filter allows you to enable custom statuses and other modules for private post types

0.7.1 (Apr. 11, 2012)

Show the year on the calendar and story budget if it’s not the current year

Allow users to save post subscriptions the first time they save the post. This also fixes the bug where a user wouldn’t be subscribed until they saved the post twice

Changed the behavior of notifications for the user changing a status or leaving a comment. Previously, they’d receive an email with the action they just performed; now they do not. This can be changed with a filter

New Italian localization thanks to Luca PatanĂŠ

Bug fix: Auto-subscribe the post author to their posts by default but make it filterable

Bug fix: Only show authors in the user dropdown for the calendar and the story budget. This new behavior can be filtered out however

Bug fix: If a user hasn’t ever opened the calendar before, the date should default to today, not the Unix Epoch

Bug fix: Prevent editorial metadata filters from stomping on others’ uses by actually returning the original value when we don’t want to manipulate it

Bug fix: Specify a max-width on <select> dropdowns in the calendar and story budget so long values don’t break formatting

0.7 (Jan. 9, 2012)

Entire plugin was rewritten into a modular architecture (e.g. each feature is broken into a module you can enable or disable). One point of the modular architecture is to make it much easier for others to contribute new features. For the end user, thereâs a brand new settings page where you can manage your modules. Each module then registers a configuration view for module settings. Most have options to choose which post types youâd like it activated for, along with other configuration options.

Calendar is far more functional. Content is viewed in a six week view by default, and number of weeks is configurable in screen options. Posts can be dragged and dropped between dates. Click on a post title to get the details about the post, including editorial metadata.

Custom statuses can be drag and drop ordered with AJAX. All statuses (including core âdraftâ and âpendingâ) can be edited or deleted.

Editorial Metadata terms can be ordered with AJAX. Terms can be made âviewableâ and then will be displayed on the manage posts view and calendar if enabled.

Story Budget shows âviewableâ editorial metadata and fixes a few bugs, including not showing posts in a subcategory of a parent category.

Notifications/subscriptions are filtered so you can disable the auto-subscribing of authors or editorial commenters.

Important note: If upgrading from pre-v0.6, please upgrade to v0.6.5 first to ensure all of your data remains intact.

0.6.5 (Sept. 19, 2011)

Bug fix: Workaround for a bug in core where the timestamp is set when a post is saved with a custom status. Instead, we update the timestamp on publish to current time if a custom post date hasn’t been set. Thanks saomay for help tracking the bug down.

Bug fix: Notifications for scheduled posts did not include links (Thanks erikajurney)

0.6 (Nov. 9, 2010)

New feature: Editorial Metadata. Previously, Edit Flow had ‘due date’, ‘location’ and ‘description’, as available editorial metadata. We’ve expanded this functionality to be completely customizable; admins can add any number of editorial metadata with the following types: checkbox, date, location, paragraph, text, or user dropdown.

New feature: Story Budget. View all of your upcoming posts in a more traditional story budget view. Posts are grouped by category, and view can be filtered by post status, category, user, or limited to a date range. Hit the print button to take it on the go.

Completely rewritten calendar view now saves filter state on a user by user basis. Also, highlights current day, and displays status and time for each post.

Temporarily disabled QuickPitch widget until we rewrite it to support editorial metadata.

Bug fix: Editorial comments should no longer show up in the stock Recent Comments widget or in the comments view in the WordPress Admin. The comment count number should also be correct.

Bug fix: Duplicate custom post statuses and usergroups are handled in more sane ways (aka creating, editing, and deleting should work as expected)

0.5.3 (Oct. 6, 2010)

Fixes issue where default Custom Statuses and User Groups were returning even after being deleted

0.5.1 (Jul. 29, 2010)

Editorial calendar improvements: filter by category or author

QuickPitch stories get default status instead of pitch status

No email notifications for âAuto Draftâ post status

Backwards compatibility with WordPress 2.9.x

0.5 (Jul. 3, 2010)

Calendar view for visualizing and spec assignments at a glance

Improvements for WordPress 3.0 compatibility

0.4

Users that edit a post automatically get subscribed to that post (only if they have the manage subscriptions capability)
